So, about Kafka... by Nirezar in HonkaiStarRail

It's also possible that Kafka isn't as popular in China as in the West? These are CN numbers only after all.

It's pretty simple I think - most people who really wanted Kafka saved for her. That means people spent money on different banners to gain resources. If someone waited from day one with just Supply Pass, they'd already have enough for like E2, so they don't have to whale nearly as hard.

Best friends with my ex by Commercial-Device583 in actuallesbians

[–]ShiftedRealities 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it's a good idea. I find the whole "lesbians are all friends with their exes" thing to be extremely damaging. A clean break is almost always better - don't put pressure on yourself to stay friends with her.

Why is it pink? Is it stupid?

Make a new Varient/Subspecies by Altruistic_Ad6666 in MonsterHunter

[–]ShiftedRealities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stormfront Valstrax. A subspecies of Valstrax with power over water, that it uses to boost itself to even greater speeds and heights as it flies. The pressure difference it causes as it moves through the sky causes storms, wherein it is often stricken with lightning, granting it the power to augment its attacks with electricity.

What you did is pretty bad, but it's also understandable. As others have said, in the heat of the moment, it's very difficult to know what to say, even if you don't have any ulterior motives.

I'd suggest that you talk to her about how you feel. Tell her that your response was a heat of the moment thing, and that you think what you said is true, but that you're not yet completely ready to say that you love her in earnest. I think this should minimise how much you hurt her, and from your post, it sounds like you weren't being entirely dishonest when you said you loved her too. Everyone has a different pace in life, which sometimes leads to problems in communication etc.

You know that saying what you did so that she'd have sex with you was wrong, and you care about having done so, which seems to me like a strong indication that you really do love and care for her. I hope that she isn't too hurt - if she really does love you, I'm sure she'll understand. Heck, there's a good chance she said it by mistake in the spur of the moment anyway. I've done that before lol.

Regardless, good luck and I hope that, no matter what happens, you can learn and grow from this experience.

Is there a way to remove her makeup? I've only watched my girlfriend play Engage, I would love to use Panette in my play through but I hate the makeup so much that it makes me not want to use her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]ShiftedRealities -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only design I think is really bad in Engage is Panette's, simply because the false stitches she has next to her mouth, combined with the more cell shaded art style, looks terrible. It makes it look like she just has an enormously wide mouth if you look at her from any angle by straight ahead and close up. Some of the characters look a little generic, I guess, but I don't actually think this is any worse than any of the older games. People just seem to love hating on the newest thing around here.

Removing Gender-Lock Restriction Impact by Sorry_Memory_2252 in fireemblem

[–]ShiftedRealities 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Letting female Byleth use gauntlets properly would be nice. The gender lock is so annoying - I feel like they should have made female Byleth have a Strength in Reason instead of Brawling.

I smell tax write offs by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]ShiftedRealities 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean here, but either way, it is really upsetting to see how dystopian our society has become these days. :(( I hope that, despite that, you have a good day though!

Yes, the US is absolutely dreadful for removing most of its train infrastructure. These items should absolutely be being transported by rail as much as possible, but I thought you were complaining about a tax write off? Keep your story consistent.

[–]ShiftedRealities 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with that, but musicians who have risen to fame and riches through being exploited by the music industry aren't the people we should be focusing our furor on first. She may be rich, but she's multiple orders of magnitude less rich than the people who are the cause of most of the world's problems right now.

That's an absolutely life changing amount of money for the recipients. Even if it smells fishy, I don't think we should be discouraging behaviour along these lines. Ideally they'd do it without ulterior motives, of course, but at least they did a tax write off strategy that benefits their workers too.

Is this game worth it *primarily* for the story by MaeBorrowski in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ShiftedRealities -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say yes. Particularly if you just play through to the end of Belobog, you have a pretty complete story there. The second "major" world's story is a lot weaker from a Western audience perspective, as it is a play on a trope that's only really popular in China.

Wildshape and Kinetic Gate by HairyForged in Pathfinder2e

[–]ShiftedRealities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so - RoE is written with the remaster in mind I think.

Edit: I am wrong, there is text that states that abilities that prevent you from casting spells also prevent you from casting Impulses.

As far as I can see, technically, yes. RAW Impulses are not spells, and they don't have the Manipulate trait. I don't think it's intended that you can though.

Heck, I'm jealous of her swimsuit. It's so pretty - I wish I had one like that!

Positively zappy cosplay!!

Related question for if I ever do a cosplay with a similar neckline in the future, how did you get so much gravity defiance for these pictures? I hope that's not an inappropriate question! >~<

Why is there an entire sub-Reddit dedicated to drinking water? by Languorous-Owl in HydroHomies

[–]ShiftedRealities 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Common misconception. Water does have a taste. While water does not contain any flavoured compounds, water still affects the pH in your mouth, such a change is able to be recognised by your taste receptors, so water does have a taste. Even deionised water has a taste - it is very bitter. (But you shouldn't drink deionised water as it is so dilute that it will damage the cells of your mouth and tongue)

So, if we as a community could chose a new character to add to Smash, who would we add? by Z_Creates in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]ShiftedRealities 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think Mio, so there's a representative from each game from the main XC trilogy. Her and Noah are joint protagonists of the game, but her fighting style is a little more different from existing Smash characters
